Lower down it changes to rubber.
You should be flushing the entire transmission every 5 years or 50,000 miles. I believe that volvo introduced this additional layer of servicing many years after production as “lifetime” fluid has...
Note. When flushing using the Gibbons method take no more than 1.5 litres out and then put 1.5 litres in via the dipstick tube using a LONG flexible funnel. Ideally you need an extra pair of hands on...
Yeah. 10 litres will do nicely. You can buy a washing machine waste hose from a hardware store for a fiver. The rubber end of the hose fits snuggly over the upper radiator fitting. You will have to...
I use FUCHS TITAN 4400 which is JWS 3309 compliant. Recommended by opie oils.

It could be something as simple as a ball joint especially if it’s felt in the pedals when braking.

How have you come to the conclusion that the whole gearbox needs replacing? Flush the transmission fluid using the Gibbons method. If you have any concerns that the transmission is getting gunked up...
Hi
Does anyone know what the default temps are in centigrade for the front heated seats? Low and high settings?
B definitely
Wheels look fab.
I’ve just had 2 small leaks into my footwell in both V70 and XC70. Here’s some images of the stuff I came across.

The AC won’t produce 3” of water. You can whip off the trim in the passenger footwell and make sure the AC drain hose is connected. You can also cable tie the neck so it never pops off. The blower...
Are there specific areas which are rusting or is it everywhere? Generally these cars are well coated and resist rust very well compared to others. The front subframe never rusts, the LCAs are...
If it was one owner from new then that owner would have had a particular driving style, storage, or location. What I mean by that is it could have been driven daily over a bridge which was close to...
PS. I don’t want to add to your woes but your front lower control arm rear bush looks torn :-(
I’m pretty sure it bends back up into the engine bay and goes straight into the BCM. However on second glance it looks like it’s the OSF and not the NSF. In which case it bends around the steering...

I just searched my spares box and I have these. I can post you the pair you want 1st thing tomorrow as special delivery for £20 all in. Let me know.

If you have a few quid to burn buy some Snap On FDX sockets. A 3/8” set from 8-19mm is commonly available. FDX stands for flank drive extra - this means they are an interference fit with socket...
I had similar issue on my 05 XC70 with plastic headlights.
I did find a company selling replacement plastic lenses but they were £90 each. New aftermarket headlights were £140 each.
I wet sanded...
Also, if your car is a 2004 D5 surely it will be a Euro 3. That means it won’t have a dpf. Just a TWC- three way catalytic converter.
You can unbolt the downpipe and wash it through with degreaser...
Sounds like a split hose or charge pipe hose popped off. Your guess is pretty good.
Hi
I’ve never had the A range faults. But that may be because you are using a generic OBD2 fault code reader and not Vida. Vida is more specific.
You could remove the turbo heat shield by undoing...
Hi
My 2005 XC70 D5 doesn’t have the upper guard pictured. It appears that these may not have been fitted to 05> cars but I’m not sure. Does anyone know? Or is mine just missing?
